Confetti on the Floor Salesman Samples for the Basement Retro and Modern at the Same Time!








When I was a lad, one of these was the entire basement floor…I scuffed them up playing ping-pong down there.  Retro madness confetti floors of asbestos from the Matico Company and their line of "Aristoflex" floors.

I am a big fan of paint chips and floor samples.  For one thing, they are the only thing free at your local Home Depot.  They are also fantastic for art projects, and they look great on the shelf.  Unfortunately, you can not get the asbestos ones anymore…but I guess that is a good thing.

  1. The first house we bought was built in 1956. We bought it five years later and this was the original pattern in the kitchen - floor and counters.
    We replaced it as soon as we could afford to.

  2. I'm having a pit in my stomach childhood memory. I don't remember which house it was in, and maybe that's a good thing. And the very same people that had this on their floors in their homes couldn't fathom what Jackson Pollack was doing.
